About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

    Tackling retail and business crime in Blyth Town Centre

    Issued 23 March 2026

    Action taken:

    The Blyth team are working closely with local businesses and partner agencies to reduce retail and business crime. By sharing intelligence and targeting persistent offenders, we’re taking proactive steps to prevent harm, including the use of police powers and Criminal Behaviour Orders. We’re also supporting long-term solutions by addressing the root causes of offending with partners. In addition, the Neighbourhood Inspector and the Crime Prevention Officer have delivered bespoke training to local business owners.

    Issued 23 March 2026

    Action taken:

    We have received a significant number of reports of anti-social behaviour by people driving vehicles in an anti social manner, littering and noise complaints. We will be delivering a targeted plan of action to tackle the issue.

  • Priority:

    Motorcycle anti-social behaviour

    Issued 23 March 2026
